When it comes to Botox treatments, patients are reminded that their choice of clinic and doctor directly affects results. Since Botox is a pretty straightforward treatment that doesn’t require extensive preparation, and there’s no downtime and recovery, a lot of first-time patients overlook the importance of choosing the right clinic for them.
Botox treatments: Why your choice of clinic matters
What first-time patients must understand about Botox cosmetic treatments is that the solution used is a type of toxin that temporarily paralyzes those facial muscles that cause one’s dynamic wrinkles to appear. Since it is a type of toxin, it needs to be properly diluted and correctly administered. Some patients overlook the importance of choosing the right clinic for them since Botox treatments are non-invasive, they’re quick and simple, and they require no downtime or recovery. But wrongly administered, they could have serious consequences.
Common side effects of poorly administered Botox cosmetic injections include droopy eyelids, crooked or raised eyebrows, a crooked or lopsided smile, drooling, and infected treatment site. Some patients may also experience the dreaded frozen look, where they appear expressionless and can hardly move their mouth as a result of being given too many Botox units or again, of poorly administered Botox cosmetic injections.
Choosing the right clinic for you
Each patient has unique needs, which means what one cosmetic treatment worked for another may not necessarily mean will also work on them. Whether Botox treatments or other non-invasive cosmetic procedures, your individual skin concerns and needs will determine the right treatment for you.
On that note, the right clinic will not recommend Botox treatments if they have determined, after a thorough evaluation of your skin issues and a review of your medical history, that a different type of cosmetic procedure is the better treatment option for you. The right clinic will have a high satisfaction rating for Botox injections administered by a fully licensed and experienced doctor or registered nurse.
Understand that Botox cosmetic treatments are recommended for dynamic lines and wrinkles, which are those lines and wrinkles that appear every time you smile, frown, furrow your eyebrows, squint your eyes, or do other facial expressions. If you’re concerned about static wrinkles and lines, your doctor may recommend dermal fillers or other skin rejuvenation techniques like laser, RF devices, Ulthera, EMFace, etc.
